Since they were fighting, this would be the safest time that Lily could use to disappear as both parties were still busy with each other. “Is there any other way aside from that underground prison?” she asked. Of course, she was not that stupid to put herself in even greater danger. Moreover, once Zhou Jingren sees here, his priority would obviously change into protecting her. Lily could not let that happen.
“Yes… I think…. Let me just…” Qin Yuanfeng said. “There is… but you have to go out of the mansion. There is a shed, two hundred meters away from the garden. This is a tool shed for the people that take care of the garden and the forest. There should be some sort of a secret mechanism to open a door. This door will lead you to a small tunnel. You don’t have to worry, as long as you open the door, I can help you with the tunnel. Of course, I have to finish hacking the secret facility first.”
“Hmmm. Then I will find a way to…”
“There is a staircase that will lead you to the back door of the mansion. It should be located near the… there is a blue door….” Qin Yuanfeng started giving her instructions on which way to go so she could exit the mansion without attracting anyone’s attention. Not long after, Lily left the room and started running towards the stairs that her brother was talking about.
The explosions around the mansion continued. From time to time, walls would shake, debris would fall. However, Lily ignored all this as she continued to run while hiding from the enemies troops.
“On your left. Yes, that door. Two people are coming your way. You should hurry and find a gun somewhere.” Qin Yuanfeng instructed her. He was watching Lily from the CCTV camera on the mansion. Qin Yuanfeng had already disabled the enemy’s access to the cameras while he hacked it a couple of minutes ago. “I can’t see the stairs but I should be able to see you once you reach the tunnel. I will give you access to the door. There are only two people in the room. Both are busy with computers. I believe they are trying to delete something. I will open the door for you. However, you have to be careful. There is a small armory inside the facility. It’s already been opened. You just have to be quick enough to run towards it and use it against the two women inside.”
“I understand.”
“You do?” Bei Tian asked, doubt laced his voice. “You do understand that using this gun will mean killing people?”
“Is this really the time for that?” Qin Yuanfeng answered him. “Can you stop staring at my monitor and look at Zhou Jingren?” Lily heard irritation in her brother’s voice. Of course, she ignored the two and carefully followed Qin Yuanfeng’s instructions. Just as Qin Yuanfeng had mentioned, the stairs led her to a tunnel that looked like they were copied from a sci-fi film. It was made of iron, the lightings inside the tunnels were blue, while the door that can be seen that the end of the tunnel looked like a rectangle with LED lights that was shaped like diamonds.
Lily frowned. Why does it seem like she is walking into some star wars spaceship? Without saying anything, she walked towards the door and gave a signal to her brother that she was ready.
“Are you sure?” Bei Tian asked in a concerned voice.
“Shut up!” Qin Yuanfeng hissed before letting out an irritated sigh. “I will never work with you in the future.” Lily heard him utter towards Bei Tian. “Alright… I will open the door. The small armory is just a few feet across the door. Are you ready?”
“Yes. I will put the phone in my jacket. ” Lily said, her hand might be aching but she could still use her other hand to shoot. Of course, her aim was still not good but she was not really planning to hit them in the first place. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard an electronic swish. Lily immediately sprang forward. Without looking at the interior of the laboratory, she opened the small iron armory and grabbed a pistol. She immediately pointed it towards the two women who sat frozen like a statue when they saw her.
“Don’t move!” Lily said, she tightened her hand around the gun. “Try it and you are dead.” Her face was cold, eyes chilly as she eyed the two women who were now raising their hands. Lily then threw zip-ties towards them and told them to tie their hands behind them and sit at the corner. It didn’t take too long for the women to follow Lily’s instruction. With their ashen faces, the two sat in the corner.
“I am in.” Lily said as she put the phone on speaker.
“Alright… ask them for the code to the computer. Shoot their legs if they don’t talk.” When the women heard Qin Yuanfeng’s words, their eyes immediately widened.
“Please don’t hurt us… we will tell you everything. We will talk. Please…” the older woman said while shaking her head. “Please… I will give you the code… everything about this laboratory.”
Lily smiled at the camera that was pointed at the computers. “You heard that right?” She said. “But before this… please give me an update with his current situation.” Lily said. While she completely trusts her man, she still couldn’t help but become anxious.
“He is safe.” Bei Tian’s voice echoed. “Don’t worry too much about him. He can handle himself. That Kuznetsov might be bigger than him but he is more agile. There is no way that —”
“Wait… they are fighting?”
“Not yet. But that will happen soon. Once each party runs out of bullets, they won’t have a choice but to fight for their lives.” Bei Tian’s nonchalant words didn’t make her feel calm. “Trust him.” She heard him say. In response, Lily nodded. A determined glint soon flashed in her eyes.
“Alright.. Let’s start. Give me the code and I will let you go.” She turned her attention towards the two women. She needed to finish this as fast as possible.
